That’s very debateable.
Treliving was on the radio after the trade deadline and said he specifically acquired a left shot defenseman who had no term because he didn’t want to block Valimaki and Kylington long term. He said there’s were options for guys with term but that didn’t make sense.
The depth is as follows
Giordano
Hanifin
Valimaki
Kylington
and Brodie can play LD in a pinch too.
Don’t see any room for Fantenberg next year at all. There are 4 guys who will clearly be ahead of him long term.
And why would Fantenberg sign here when he can sign somewhere that has crap depth and he’ll be pencilled into the top 6? Heck he could probably play top 4 on the Oilers right now. Does anyone think he’s really be itching to sign here as a #8/9 guy? I don’t.
There isn’t really a good fit for Fantenberg here past this playoff run IMO from his perspective or the Flames perspective
